Based on the comments here, I offer up this reworked proposal. It
includes many of the text changes, limits the scope to
draft-ietf-ipv6-ula-central-00.txt (which I believe is the one more
interesting to ARIN as a group), and includes the major issues that
ARIN, as a group, sees with the proposal.
Draft Text:
ARIN shall send a letter to the IETF IPv6 Working Group, and any
other entities the BoT considers relevant, with the following
statement.
] ARIN on behalf of the ARIN membership and constituents believes
] that the proposal in draft-ietf-ipv6-ula-central-00.txt will be
] harmful to the future of the IPv6 Internet. ARIN recommends that
] this draft NOT be adopted by the IETF.
]
] The particular issues seen by the ARIN membership and constituents
] that relate to ARIN are:
]
] - The proposal calls for a a new "RIR" type function by fiat, rather
] than using the existing processes to create these sorts of
] organizations.
]
] - The proposal calls for an RIR function to be provided at no fee
] to the end user, and with no method of funding the RIR functions.
] ARIN believes the IETF should not discuss fees in engineering
] drafts.
]
] - The proposal is likely to create confusion in the ARIN region
] about which prefixes can be routed on the Public Internet.
]
] - If the prefixes in the proposal become globally routed by major
] Public Internet ISP's it has the potential to impact ARIN's
] viability.
Does that language make people a bit happier?
